The Gerontology certificate program provides foundational knowledge of gerontological theories and practices as well as a gerontological internship and service-learning experiences. These educational objectives give you the skills needed for frontline practice and administrative positions in social service organizations that focus on serving older adults.
If you are a degree-seeking student, you must be accepted to both the university and the College of Social Work. Non-degree-seeking students can apply through the FSU Office of Admissions and then contact the College of Social Work for acceptance into the certificate/specialized studies program.
